Eclipse flood Fire and rebirth

"An eclipse was about to happen, and somehow it was a very big deal. I could feel that what was coming was powerful and inevitable. When the eclipse began, time lurched forward. The sky looked like a time lapse, the sun rising on one horizon and setting on the other again and again, as if days were passing in seconds. Then the sky went dark. The whole world began to flood, and a huge fire closed in on me and everyone around me. A girl grabbed me and dragged me toward the center of a clearing. That was when I noticed that all of us were naked, raw and fragile, with nothing left to hide behind. I realized this was the end of the world, and that we were all about to die. The closer we got to the center, the deeper the water became. At first it only reached our ankles, then we had to swim. I could see the girl ahead of me, her back turned, and across from us other people swimming toward the same spot. In the middle of the clearing, all we could do was keep our heads above water and wait for the flames. But I wasn't afraid of dying. I felt, overwhelmingly, that this was a rebirth and that everything would be okay soon. What scared me was the pain. I hoped the burning wouldn't last long, and I wondered if it would even hurt, or if it was all just theatrics. It was much less frightening because I wasn't going through it alone. I woke up before the flames reached us. When I woke up, I lay still, strangely calm, with the sense of having touched something huge. The fear of the pain had faded, and what remained was a quiet feeling of acceptance and hope."
